I think a similar case could be made against mainstream capitalist consumer culture. I think that many aspects of modern American culture in reference to race nationalism and sexuality coul be made as well.

Yea, sorry, I meant that until I read her wiki just know I thought she was still a serving justice. I knew he had a sister who was a judge and who by all reports was well regarded by almost everybody who appeared before her, I didn't know she had retired.

Second, I tore out everything I possible could and shut off every available option that wasn't necessary for general purpose computing.

I think if you don't close every chink in the armor than you can't disable certain annoying functions.

My wife wanted to watch the Olympics with her friends Hulu TV login on my PC. To do this I needed to turn on Microsoft location services. I couldn't turn it on, the toggle they have for it was unable to be activated. I have some other setting turned off or I uninstalled some other bullshit that it was dependent on. Some of these services have other dependencies that if left on make you unable to disable or enable other services. I didn't build my rig to watch location dependent TV and I don't really care that it won't work.

I suspect that you might not be able to turn off Customer Services if you leave shit like Cortana on.

The only complaint I have with Win 10 is that the screen dimming controls are shit if you aren't on a laptop, otherwise I can't think of anything about it that is especially annoying.

Before long it's just going to be dog coats, succulent's, truffle fries, and artisan ice cream all the way down.

We vote big bond issues for pleasant amenities like parks. No one is the city is supposed to less than an easy walk to a nice park. Taxes go up and the closer you are to a park the higher your home value goes up. The people at the bottom get pushed out as clusters of new businesses emerge to satiate the desires of the new wealthier residents. It starts with a tap room and a coffee shop and ends with a New Seasons (Think Whole Foods if you don't have them around you). Values go up more, more people get moved on.

The Portland station that does it is KBOO an independent locally funded community radio station. They were usually #2 on my dial before I had to get up at 5am every morning. Their morning programming is chat and hideous shit like traditional Irish or American Indian music which doesn't go with the shops flow so I don't listen all that often. They did either a half or full hour prison show with messages.

I listen to a different locally funded radio station now, only on weekends. i know a few of the DJ's and it's a better music mix. https://xray.fm/

The Detroit show was just the later night DJ on a contemporary urban format station who would read out messages to prisoners.

Many of the messages are hopeful, many are sad they are filled with a lot of love. Nothing like a shout out that a favorite uncle died and we love you and are waiting for you to get out.

The artist hanging at my shop atm is an old black lady working in a black folk art style. there is about 10x the amount of memory and emotion in her work as anything that I've ever had up before. I fucking love it. Other people come in and say that it ok looks like grade school art. I don't give a fuck. Her work is great in my opinion. I'll post some shitty cellphone pics of it tomorrow if I have a chance. Real feeling and memory is not present in most art. Fuck elegance, real emotion is beyond precious. It means more than anything.
